The statement above is TRUE. Food handlers are expected to keep their nails short and trimmed; this is because the microbes under nails can be a great hazard to the food that is been prepared. Food handlers are not expected to wear nail polish or put on artificial finger nails and if they do, they must put on single use gloves.
Answer:
Penicillin binds and inhibits bacterial enzyme DD-transpeptidase.
Explanation:
Penicillin is made up of 4 rings of β-lactam and acts by binding to DD-transpeptidase of bacteria. The DD-transpeptidase facilitates the cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacteria. This leads to malformation of the protective cell wall of the bacteria and causes it to lyze and die.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A. "They only introduce supercoiling and cannot relax a covalently closed circular DNA".
Explanation:
Type II topoisomerases are enzymes that regulate the winding an unwinding of DNA during DNA replication. Basically, these enzymes are the scissor that remove the knots and tangles formed during the replication process. Is false to affirm that type II topoisomerases only introduce supercoiling and cannot relax a covalently closed circular DNA. Bacterial type II DNA topoisomerases work with the circular DNA of bacterium by changing the linking number of circular DNA by ±2.
Answer:
It will eventually become unsustainable because of factors like food, water, space, etc.
